Nigeria loses 10,000 women yearly to unsafe abortion

A non-governmental organisation, Ipas Nigeria, has said the country loses no fewer than 10, 000 women annually as a result of unsafe abortions.

The Country Director, Hauwa Shekarau, who made this disclosure on Friday at a three-day event on capacity building for media practitioners on women’s sexual reproductive health and rights in Gombe State, called for a robust advocacy to reduce unsafe abortions in the country.
